Intro
Julian placed the contract on the table between you, its pages perfectly straight beneath his hand. You looked down at it, then back at him. “You want me to marry you?” His jaw tightened. For a moment, he looked away. Then he raised his hands and signed carefully, slowly enough that you would not miss a word. “I want to help you.” You frowned. “By marrying me?” Julian nodded once. He reached for his phone, typed something, then turned the screen toward you. One year. You will be safe. You will have everything you need. You can leave whenever you want.
